State police investigators say the 61-year-old driver of the car had pulled over onto the berm along Route 28, possibly because he was having problems with the car. He was sitting on the trunk of his vehicle when an SUV which had just entered the highway crashed into his car.

Police said the impact sent the man airborne, and the vehicles became entangled as they traveled about 150 feet down the road.

The SUV was driven by a 23-year-old woman with two passengers, a 5-year-old boy and a 1-year-old girl. Police said the woman suffered a minor injury and the kids were not hurt.
